PUBLIC:

When I was raising money for my last company, I read an article about Battery that referred to them as an "entrepreneur's VC". So I was very pleased when Battery called US to ask for an opportunity to invest (this is rare, indeed!) Battery Ventures continues to exceed our expectations for involvement, assistance with resources, negotiating on our behalf, introductions to C-level people, HR needs and general strategic support. They were tough negotiators, but fair and reasonable and they continue to be a contributing element of our management team. Ultimately, the partner you work with will make a big difference, but we have had positive interactions with a number of partners and are quite pleased with the added value they have brought to the company. Money is important, but the right money that comes with skilled business assistance will really help accelerate your success and your valuation.
